Application filed April-17, 1906.` Serial No. 812,186.

ed certain new and useful Improvements in Sieves for Sinks and the Like,of which vthe following is a specification. l

My invention relates to sieves usedin con- 4nection with sinks,wash-basins and the like to hold back sediment, threads, hair and othermatter liable to clogthe waste-pipe.

The sieve invented by 111e is of the removable type, and is`,of animproved construction s as to renderit very effective, readilyaccessible, and simple as well as inexpensive to K manufacture. .i

-The invention will be fully described hereinafter and the features of`novelty pointed out in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to theaccom'panyin drawings, in which kis form aseries of tongues `gure l is a top view of my invention as applied to asink; Fi .y 2 lis a horizontal section on line 2-2 of Fig. 3 Fig. 3 is avertical section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1`; Fi 4 is a side elevation of thesieve or strainer s lown alone,

Vand Fig. 5 is atop view of another form of strainer.

A designates the body of the sink, washbasin. or the like, pre videdWith an outletinl Which is set the u per end of the waste pipe B. Thisu'pper e ge is ex anded and cut to which are bent outwardly into asocket orreccssA of the .body and serve as a means for holding the Wastepipe. lVithin the upper portion of said pipe is set loosely 'a sieve orstrainer -for the urpose of catching any substances which might c og thepipes. b 0

The sieve is made of any suitable material, such as sheet metalor castmetal, and has a cylindrical body C, with a perforated rounded end C atthebottom, and an outwardlyextending flange C2 at the top. This Iiangeis adapted to rest on an annular flange D projected inwardly at thelower end of a sleeve D2 set within the waste pipe B and secured to ormade integral with a top ring lD resting on the tongues B. "lhe topmember which comprises the top ring D, the sleeve D2 and the annulariiange D', forms not only a means for holding the sieve, but a tightjoint with the upper end of. the waste pipe.

shoulder of the rin This top member is held by bolts E passing throughsaid ringA D, two of the tongues or lugs B, and the body A, with nuts E)fitted against the lower surface of the-body. The top rinoi D isreceived vin the socketlor recess A The edge of the central openingofsaid .ring is formed with a seat `(for instance,` a

square shoulder) for a removable perforated dlsk or plate F.

In` order that the sieve may convene-v iently removed after theperforated jdiskhas been t'aken'ofi, I may provide a bail or handle G,pivoted or hinged to the u perendof the sieve, and normally' folde downasv shown in Figs. 2 and3.

In use, the perforatedtop late `allowing liquid to esca e, wilarrestniost Asubstances that would e liable to clog "thewaste pipe..

In a wash-basin, the customary plu may be substituted for the perforateddisk' the D forming the proper seat vfor the usual Instead of the bailG, I may, as shown in Fig. 5, employ as a handle a s ider G which spiderwould be swung to lie above the 'flange ange of such plug, the Vbody ofwhich would fit into the sleeve D'.

C2 and conceal it, as in Fig. 5. After lifting the sieve out,'using thespider as a handle, the spider -would lie-swung aside on its pivot G2,so that any matter which might have accumulated in the lsieve, could be.removed readily.

As' shown in Fig. 3, balls or lumpsH of a suitable deodorizerorantiseptic may be placed within the sieve 0r strainer.

I claim: 1. The combination of the body having an ICN aperture and beingprovided with arecess in its upper surface adjacent to the aperture, a

Weste pip-e extending through seid aperture and having e series ofoutwardly extending tongues fitted within seid recess, a top menibercomprising e ring adapted to rest on the series of tongues, a sleeveextending into the Waste pipe and a Hnge et the lower end of the sleeveetending inwardly therefrom, e sieve having en elongated body set Withinthe upper portion of the waste pipe and bee ing further provided with aprojecting portion adapted to rest on the lenge of the said sleeve, ehandle pivoted to the sieve and fastening devices for connecting thering, tongues ot" 1the waste pipe and the body.

72. The combination of the body having en eperf` re aud being providedwlth e recess in 'sieve supported by seid top member end hevingauelongated. body extending into the Weste pipe', e perforated diskremovably am @were aperture end being provided with e recess in 3o itsupper surface adjacent to the aperture, e Waste pipe Afitted into saidaperture end heving outwardly etendingtongues located at its upper' edgeand tted Within the recess,
